A LINO PRINT TUTORIAL
Every year I try do my Christmas Cards with Lino cut printing.
Here's how I make them...
These tools to chisel out the lino
You also have to work out what you want printed on the page the negative or the positive...
the chiseled put bits are the negative.
Load up the roller with paint
Roll it over the lino cut
Until its all covered
Then using a brayer (or you can press down with your hands) roll it over the upturned lino cut
Here I did it on silver foil paper and it came out a treat (sorry about the flash glare but it does look wonderful in real life)
Of course - choose any colour. Run the lino cut under water to clean and load up again with paint.
A card with red
And a card with green
And here is another cut I did in the background
And here in a different colour
And a again...
My bird Lino cut...

And to finish off with a LO... (non christmassy!)
